Abstract
When a Service Switching Point (1,2) of a telecommunications network receives signalling from a first customer telephone (5) for a destination customer line equipped with a special divert response CPE, network signalling is used to request from the destination line specified by the digits signaled by the first customer, data defining a network destination to which the call is to be connected. The call may be diverted to another telephone or may be diverted to network apparatus arranged to provide voice information and/or data collection facilities to enable further decision on the ultimate destination of the incoming call.
